We control what we can control,” said the Bills head coach. “I think it’s honestly ridiculous that there will be, on the surface, what appears to be a playing field that’s like that, inconsistently across the league with the different away stadiums. But it is what it is. We control what we control. That’s gotta be our mindset and that’s how we adapt.”’

But in terms of my base knowledge now, compared to last year, I have a good base and can work from that moving forward. I feel like I can make the team just like everyone else.”‘
